[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 164934, member: 2736"] [b]Weatherby Rifles[/b] This is like swimming in a pond full of water moccasin but hear goes. Weatherby and remingtion are my two favorite factory actions to build custom rifles on. The reason is that they are well made and respond to bedding and blue printing very well. The Weatherby MK 5 action is one of the strongest actions made and normaly the only thing I have to do to the action is to lap the lugs in (NOTE : I have never seen a factory action of any brand that had 100% lug engagement). And from action to action I find the Weatherby tolerances very close to the same. One thing to remember is that each action (Remington, Winchester,Ruger, Weatherby,Sako,etc require different methods of bedding and blue printing to make them shoot there best. I have been very pleased with the performance of all the Weatherbys I have built or tuned.The best to date is a 30x378 mk 5 on a #7 Shilen that shot a .092 5shot group. also I have a 30x378 accumark that will shoot a 5 shot group of .277 all day long. It,s to bad when someone gets a bad rifle of any kind but S*#$ happens and you just have to move on. As a gunsmith I am not afraid of building any custom rifle on a Weatherby action and guarantee that it will shoot under 1/2 MOA. Just my 2 cent's J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
